I’ve converted to a hydraulic clutch setup. Before I fire the bike up and put in gear I’ve got a question. With the bike NOT running but in 1st gear and clutch depressed, can you rotate the rear wheel WITHOUT the engine compressing? Thx. Boris

Finishing a build and after the motor dropped into the frame and I removed the intake covers, I noticed the runner (after manifold, but before the values) had bead like varnish looking balls. About 1/16" diameter and some of the wall surface is covered is the same brown/yellow gook. Its...

Looking to add hydraulic clutch. Hugh used the stock worm gear actuated by a cylinder w/ a long rod in his kit. Others have used slave master cylinders attached to outer cover acting directly on the clutch actuating rod. Anyone experience both? I'm inclined to remove the worm gear and go...
